WHAT?

A three days workshop to create five large totems (2.5 meters high) with everyday elements, designed to be installed on a public space to express today’s society to future generations.

WHY?

Sacred, permanent, meaningful … For centuries, different ancestral cultures have used the figure of the totem as a powerful protector that has transformed into an iconic and inalterable cultural symbol. Today, we want to reflect on this figure and its potential to explain today’s society to future generations.
